2002 Ford Fiesta whirring/grinding sound

Car: Ford Fiesta
Year: 2002
Variant: Zetec S

Categories: Steering, Suspension, Brakes, Wheels & Tyres

I've been having a problem on my fiesta for about a month now. Ive changed all the bearings + CV joint on the passengers side but the problem is still occuring. Its starts whirring at about 25MPH and gets louder the faster I go. The sound then changes to a grinding sound as I turn right indicating that theres a problem on the left hand side. My dad reckons its the gearbox but even out of gear it still making the sounds. Any ideas?

had the same prob once but it depends on what sort of grinding sound your on about mine turned out to be a directional Tyre running backwards on the front passenger side of the car
just a thought ?
